May 5 (Reuters) - Forget the ⁠status that comes with the corner office, the ⁠best job in America this summer will pay ‌one individual $50,000 to watch all 104 World Cup soccer games.

Fox Sports has teamed up with job site Indeed to find a "Chief World Cup ​Watcher" -- what they're calling the best ⁠summer job on the ⁠market -- who will watch every match from inside a custom-built ⁠glass ‌cube in the heart of New York City's Times Square.

The chosen fan will be required to ⁠watch every minute of the matches on ​Fox One, the ‌official streaming platform of the 2026 World Cup,while ⁠creating and sharing ​social content, turning every game into a live watch party for thousands of tourists and commuters passing by.

"It will ⁠be the best summer job on the ​market, but only for one wild fan who is up to the once-in-a-lifetime task," the companies said in a press ⁠release.

Fans can apply for the role through Indeed and the winner will be revealed on June 6 during Fox's broadcast of the Major League Baseball game between the ​Boston Red Sox and New York ⁠Yankees.

The biggest World Cup in history, which this year ​will feature 48 teams, will be ‌held across the United States, Canada ​and Mexico from June 11 to July 19.
